Lyrics

STEVE SESKIN
BOB DIPIERO
MARK SANDERS

He was twenty five she was twenty eight
He was home grown she'd just pulled off the interstate
She bought a small Dr. Pepper ten dollars worth of gas
She was obviously lost but too afraid to ask directions
So he offered her a smile and a stick of Beechnut gum
He said where you headed to where are you coming from (she said)

CHORUS:
New Orleans
But that's another story
New Orleans
That's another time, that's another town
That's another life

She stayed for a day then she stayed for a week
Couple months later they were living on his parents street
He worked the station she worked the store
Then they had a kid and then they had one more little Jesse
When she dropped the kids off at mother's day out
All the ladies had their questions but they knew not to ask about

REPEAT CHORUS

Wednesday night supper, first Baptist church
Stranger standing in a door way as they're passing out desert
He said go on and pack your bags I'm here to take you home
Going back to louisiana and woman I ain't gonna go without you

Now there's a few defining moments in every persons life
When you know what you've done wrong 
And you know what you've done right
Before the whole congregation, her husband and her kids
She said how dare you even speak to me
After everything you did in

REPEAT CHORUS
